Planning board schedules public hearing for new auto‑repair business at Stony Brook
Summary
An applicant seeking to open an indoor automotive repair and storage business at 115 Stony Brook presented plans and provided a lease; the board required certified abutter notification and scheduled the public hearing for March 30 at 5:00 p.m.
An applicant seeking to open a small automotive repair facility at 115 Stony Brook asked the planning board for permission to operate a primarily indoor repair shop and to store a limited number of recreational boats on the lot. The applicant said he will lease half of an existing property, operate as a single‑operator business initially and avoid outdoor bodywork, tire storage or other outdoor activities that would generate noise or debris.
He told the board he is a certified mechanic and plans to use an oil‑recycling vendor or contracted pump‑out service for used oil; the board asked him to provide documentation of the waste‑oil removal arrangement and of certified abutter notification. The applicant provided a lease and some certified‑mail receipts for abutter notice and said he will seek a state inspection station license when established.
The board agreed to advertise a public hearing and scheduled it for Monday the 30th at 5:00 p.m., with the understanding that the applicant must provide evidence of abutter notification and plans for waste‑oil handling and storage prior to that hearing. Board staff will post the notice per town requirements and confirm any site‑work details with the applicant before the meeting.
